Getting information and direction

One day, Bill has to go to New York. It’s his first time there, and he doesn’t know his way around the city. He has a meeting at 10 o’clock, and he wants to be there on time. The meeting is in the Peters Building on 34th Street, but Bill doesn’t know the way. At that time Bill meets two men and he asks them for directoins.

“Excuse me!” he says,”Can you tell me how to get to the Peter Building on 34th Street?”

“Sure,”answers one of the men.”You can get there in five minutes. Go to next corner and turn left. Walk three blocks and there you are.’

But the other man says, “Don’t listen to him. There’s a better way. Get on the bus here at this concer.It stops right near the Peter Building.’

Then the first man says,” Oh, that’s on East 34th Street, not West 34th. It’s quite a distance from here. You must take the subway. Take the cross-town bus.”

Bill looks his watch. It’s almost ten o’clock. “Thanks a lot,” he says, “I think I should take a taxi.”

He gets into the taxi and leaves. But the two men are still arguring and pointing in different directions. Next time he needs to ask directions, he should ask a policeman!
